if hi to bet, i think he probably will be confirmed. obviously the other big name is john kerry being nominated for secretary of state replacing hillary clinton and the speculation is that he will sail through and there won't be too much trouble with that nomination. >> now, how quickly can we expect these confirmations? >> you know, there's no telling how quickly some of these will go especially in the case of hagel. there may be debate. i think in the case of kerry it will be very quickly. if i had to bet, probably much of the debate over hagel will take place in the press before the vote. they'll probably do that pretty quickly. you don't want to have doubt about the secretary of defense for too awful long. >> let's talk a little bit about the cost of the inauguration. in 2008, it cost $170 million. this one the price tag not known at this point. regardless, getting a little bit of heat especially in this sort of climate that we're in today in terms of the economy. do you think that president obama should have scaled this back? >> he

. >> reporter: metro definitely your best bet this morning. here at the vienna metro station, the crowds will be steady. not overwhelming but definitely steady. the consensus is this is nowhere near what it was like in 2009 where it was just overwhelmed and mobbed. the good news, just checked with metro officials. there still is parking at end of the line metro stations. people are also taking the advice to get money on their smart passes and fare cards before they get into the system so they have enough to come back. of course, metro stayed open, opened up at 4:00 this morning. they'll be running rush hour service until 9:00 tonight. that's 17 straight hours of metro service. even if the crowd is lighter, metro is not putting the toothpaste back into the tube. they're going to keep running the train. people are scheduled and shifted. they'll be here working all day. we'll keep an eye on things. things are moving pretty well here. adam tuss, news 4. >> adam, thank you. >>> toothpaste in the tube. interesting analogy there. >>> nearly 9,000 peo
